Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

Sorry for the late notice folks, but there is a film screening of “Vanishing of the Bees” tomorrow night.

PSBA is co-presenting a film screening of Vanishing of the Bees on 12/1/10 at Kane Hall (UW campus). The film examines the alarming disappearance of honeybees and the greater meaning it holds about the relationship between mankind and mother earth. This screening is part of a film and lecture series called Art + Agriculture, curated by a local non-profit Essential Arts and proceeds will benefit the local nonprofit, Pollinator Pathway

More info about Essential Arts, the series, and the event is available online http://www.essentialarts.org/art-agriculture/

The evening promises to be entertaining with award winning poets (who are preparing bee-themed poems especially for the event), honey tasting and sales, post-film Q&A moderated by PSBA President, Nancy Beckett, with Q&A panelists to include PSBA Board member and owner of Ballard Bee Company, Corky Luster. Come join us in this very special evening focused on bees!

  • Kane Hall, #130, University of Washington
  • Doors open at 6:30 (for honey sales and tasting)
  • Event will start at 7:00 and end at 10:00
